Fried rice

The art of being a good cook is to master the fried rice first.

Today, I was asked to cook fried rice as my mum was not home. Bought the ingredients from Fairprice (so long queue on a Sunday).

MY FRIED RICE RECIPE

Ingredients-

~One packet chicken fillet ($3+)

~One packet white button mushroom ($3+)

~Two hotdogs (from my freezer)

~Garlic 

*Freshly cooked rice (last minute, cannot use leftover rice in fridge)

Soy sauce (go with my feeling, about 2 tbsp)

Oyster sauce (go with my feeling, about 2 tbsp)

Lotsa ground pepper

*Steamed my rice for 10 minutes using rice to water ratio 1:1. Cooked two cups of rice. Can serve 3/4 people depending on appetite. 

~ Wash chicken and mushroom. Cut and slice hotdog, chicken and mushroom into tiny bite size. Flatten garlic and chop chop chop into tiny bits.

Directions-

On the stove to medium heat. Pour some oil (nooo seemed to have poured too much). Let the oil heat up a little.

I decided to add in the chicken first looking at the amount of oil. Sizzle sizzle. Allow the chicken to cook until it's half done, tossing it occasionally. Push the chicken to one side and add in the garlic. This is wrong because the garlic doesn't get the slightly burnt smell due to the water mixture produced when cooking the chicken.

Now, add in the hotdogs and mushrooms (if you want sauteed mushroom, maybe can add in mushroom first to brown it). Stir and simmer awhile with the cover on.

Add in rice. Stir. Add oyster sauce, soy sauce and pepper at your own preference. Be careful not to add too much, taste before you continue adding. 

Okay done. Fried rice looks slightly mushy and wet. It shouldn't be due to the oil because it is absorbed up by the other ingredients. It might be because of 1) too much oyster sauce (although it doesn't taste very salty) or 2) not using leftover rice from the fridge in which the moisture is decreased or 3) both. This is what I can conclude from looking up the internet. You can add salt to strengthen the taste instead of spamming sauces, if you prefer your fried rice to be drier. 

Although the rice is a little moist, it taste good nevertheless! Dad said he can give me a certificate already haha. He is probably exaggerating. But not bad la my skill. For a girl who doesn't really cook :P.

This is just an unprofessional noob recipe post. :D
